Core Knowledge Curriculum

Ketchikan Charter School inspires each student to pursue excellence in personal and academic achievement; through a content-rich, sequentially-arranged, and intellectually-challenging Core Knowledge Curriculum.

KCS Vision Statement

The Ketchikan Charter School believes that students must be challenged to perform at higher academic levels and be expected to demonstrate mastery of core academic subjects. In addition to basic skills, all individuals must be able to think their way through the workday, analyzing problems, proposing solutions, communicating, working collaboratively and managing resources such as time and materials. When there is a shared sense of ownership concerning instructional goals, schools make an effective difference. Therefore, partnerships among parents, students, teachers, administrators, and the community are critical.

KCS Mission Statement

Through the cooperation of parents, teachers and students the Ketchikan Charter School will help students attain their highest academic and social potential through the incorporation of Core Knowledge, which is an academically rigorous, content-rich educational program.
